THE WATER SUPPLY
An Important Suggestion From a Cit
lien.
WHEELING, October II.
To he Editor Of the Register.

To he Editor Of the Register.
SIR: | see by your paper of Saturday the
Water Board is engaged in the commend
able work of wrestling with the water sup
ply problem, its impurities and how to
better the sanitary situation and condi-
tions as they exist.
They suggest-intimate, indeed-that
they have settled on a plan, which is adj
vanced and commented on in the article
referred To-. They invite criticism and the
opinions of citizens of it, all of which is
c~Ommendable in the Board, and will, l
think, be approved by the people.
AS one Of the public / desire to say the
plan is the best and most econom-
ical advocated by any one
yet. While this is the fact,
! trust ! will be pardoned for presenting
another very similar to the one proposed,
but a much better n | think, as it will
accomplish all they propose and much more
in another direction. In the way of max
ing a strong link in another chaih now in
course of construction, l would advise the
Board, after getting the necessary authority,
to purchase the land on the upper end of
the Island. l think it belongs to Mr..
Schmulbach, who is public spirited and
liberal, and always ready to do a good
thing for the city's interests. On this
land they could make an excavation Of
sufficient size, and to a depth of say eight,
ten or twelve feet below the bed Of the
river, into which the water would percolate
through the sand and gravel, thus fltering
and purifying it before being pumped into
the basin.
The material taken from the excavation
to be used in building Monster embank-
ments or levees all around the pumping
basin so formed to a sufficient heighth to
turn and of strength to resist the floods in
the river, the upper side of which could be
protected and strengthened TO enable it to
be utilized for a causeway or connecting
link between two bridges to be built, one
from the Ohio side and one from the
Wheeling side, thus forming a complete
bridge from one shore to the other for all
purposes, a something which is Just now
in agitation and thought to be SC desirable.
This is a practical sChemei has more eco
nomical and good features about it than
any one that can be proposed, especially
when you consider the double improve
ment to be accomplished by the adoption Of
it. Respectfully,
A CITIZEN.

ONE MORE.
ANOTHER POTTERY TO Bis ERECTED In THIS
CITY SHORTLY.
The Plant TO Be Located in the Eighth Ward, Near
the Hobbs, Bcckunisr Glass House.
The Thing Ksp; Very Quiet

For two or three days past the air has
been full of rumors of another large indus
trial establishment, to be soon inaugurated
in this city. Yesterday these rumors were
particularly thick, but so closely was the
secret guarded that little information Of
definite nature could be secured. A num-
Der of people who were said to know what
was on the tapis, refused point bank to
talk on the subject, while Others admitted
that there was an important new enterprise
in process of formation, but when pressed
for particulars became suddenly dumb,
and would make no sign.
Persistent enquiries, however, resulted
in the reporter ascertainilg that the new
enterprise was a pottery, and that the plans
of those interested had so far matured that
a site had been selected and that a price for
the same had been agreed upon. Following
up this, a legal gentleman said it was a fact
that the deeds for the property selected were
being drawn up by a friend of his, but that
friend wouldn't say a word"
Finally it was learned that the new addi-
ton to the industries of the city was to be
located on the line of the B. & o. railroad,
between Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth
streets, upon a number of lots belonging to
DR.. R. w. Hazlett and others. 1t was also
alleged that q large number Of brick in a
kiln hard by had been purchased by the
new company to aid in the erection OF
the building, and also that the factory was
to be a very large and complete establish
ment of its kind. Various gentlemen were
mentioned during the evening as being in
terested in the new venture, but names are
withheld for the present.
1t is to be hoped the new enterprise is a
fact, and that it will soon take on material
form. Such an enterprise would aid i'm
mensely in building up the lower end of
the city, aud would also do much to make
this city the large pottery centre we hope
to see it. This is number five in the pot
terry line; lets hear from the next

Grace Ford is very charming. Ed. NJ.
Favor as Timothy O'Harra," is the ideal
Irishman, and Charlie Kirke, as Dan

10 Ii Occurred.

The facts regarding the shooting of
young Sentliuger, chronicled in yester-
days REGISTER, came to light yesterday.
There was a good deal of doubt expressed
Sunday night as to the truth of the story
told by the boys, and yesterday morning
the officers made a further investigation,
which resulted in a%scertaining that the boy
had been shot by a SOL of John Heiner.
The boys were all in a group, and Hefner
had the pistol. He attempted TO fire it
when Sentlinger seized it, at the same
time asking him not to shoot. Just at
that moment the weapon wa discharged,
the ball striking Sentlinger in the leg.
Yesterday the wound was very much in
famed, but no serious results are appre-
hended.

Rohbed of Ninety Dollars,

A Wellsburg man named SAINT Dare was
robbed of about ninety dollars at Brilliant,
Saturday evening, by a companion named
Joseph Chamberlain, with whom he had
gone on a friendly drunk, and while I'M
conscious it is alleged Chamberlain went
through him for the amount.,above named.
The thief then crossed the river to Wells
burg, where he admitted to an officer that
he had robbed his friend, and handed over
$25 as a bonus to keep quiet. The officer
made known the condition of affairs to
Dare, and Chamberlain soon found him
self in Jail on a charge o fgrand larceny.
A Man, n Horse and q Buggy Arrested
Yesterday.
On the 10Th inst. Chief Of Police Smith
received a telegram from G. B. Weaver,
Chief of Police of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, which
read as follows: ARREST man driving a
piano box buggy, light bag horse, buffalo
robe; tall man, sandy mOustache, black
soft hat; good clothes; driving east; left
here at & p N.
Nothing was seen Of a party answering
this description until early yesterday
morning. As Lieutenant Junkins was going
home he noticed n man driving down
Chapline street. but the thought of con-
Meeting him with the telegram never en-
tered his head until in the afternoon, when
it suddenly flashed across his mind that the
man and the rig answered the description.
Last evening he vas sitting on the front
steps of the City Building talking to Officer
Lukens aoogt the matter when the same
man drove around the corner from Chap
line street and ont Sixteenth, having two
small children in the buggy. The Lieu
tenant started toward the curb to stop the
man, who was driving rather fast,
but seeing he could not catch
him, he started Officer Lukens
up fifteenth street to head him off while he
and Officer Bell went ont Sixteenth. When
they reached Eof street they saw the rig
returning and waited until it came up with
them, when they walked out and arrested
the driver and took him to the City Build
ing, where he gave the name of Edward
Howard. Lieutenant Junkins took the rig
to Rine's livery stable, and in the buggy he
found q set Of harness and a number of
hitching straps. Howard had no money
about him and even his gatch was gone.
He disclaims any knowledge regarding
what charge he was arrested upon, and
even the authorities here did not know, but
q telegram was Immediately sent to the
Chief at GAINESVILLE and he will probably
be here to-day.
